This took me quite a while to get into if I’m being honest. I loved how being queer was immediately off the bat shown as normal. But, one thing I will admit I was disappointed about was that it wasn’t more sci-fi heavy. By the end I was rooting for Kiem and Jainan. And was greeted by a happily ever after.

This is a political heavy sci-fi with a slow burn and arranged marriage romance. The miscommunication trope is very much so in this but after a certain point you come to forgive it. I personally view this as being more romance than sci-fi and think this is a good introduction to the sci-fi genre. 

P.s. Taam is a piece of shit.
